Neil Young is facing criticism for a new song he wrote about “fascists” buying Teslas.
The 79-year-old singer-songwriter debuted the song, reportedly titled “Let’s Roll Again,” at the Light Up the Blue charity concert in Los Angeles over the weekend. 
“If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla / It’s electric, it doesn’t matter / If you’re a Democrat, taste your freedom / Get whatever you want, taste your freedom,&#8221; Young could be heard singing in clips circulating on social media. 
“Come on Ford, come on GM / Come on Chrysler, let&#8217;s roll again,&#8221; the song continued. &#8220;Build something special that people need / Build us a safe way for us to meet / Build something that won&#8217;t kill our kids / Runs real clean.&#8221;
“Come on America, let’s get in the race / China’s way ahead, they’re making clean cars,” Young sang.

Responses on social media have been full of mockery.
“Neil Young waddling up to a mic like a deranged scarecrow, screeching out his geriatric fever dream of a protest song, is peak washed-up hippie cringe,” one X user <a href="https://x.com/SchoenPhotog/status/1917622372800290880">wrote</a>. &#8220;Neil, you sound like a college freshman who just discovered Reddit and thinks quoting China makes them deep… Time to unplug his amp and his internet, he’s gone full granola lunatic.”
“Imagine 25-year-old Neil Young seeing what a boorish square he would become,” another person <a href="https://x.com/NolteNC/status/1917669704660910416">agreed</a>.
“Another washed up slob,” political commentator Mark Levin <a href="https://x.com/marklevinshow/status/1917759301646504311">said</a>.
The new song comes as Elon Musk’s car company <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time?author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Elon+To+%E2%80%98Significantly%E2%80%99+Cut+Back+On+DOGE+Time">reported</a> a 71% earnings drop over the past three months when compared to the first quarter of last year. This decline was driven in part by frequent protests over Musk working with President Donald Trump on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.
Recently, Young said he was afraid Trump wouldn’t allow him back into the country after his upcoming European tour.
“When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket,” he wrote on his <a href="https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/3">website</a>. “That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America.”
